Fake calls for 25 lakhs lottery from airtel(But Actually it is from pakistan )
Fake call from pakistan at least country code say so (+92)
I got missed call from number [protected] on 20th june 2012 .when i dialled the number he told me that that i won a lottery of 25 lacs.
and provided me number [protected] and told me to call.
Please Be alert as such Hoax calls are coming again......

I had applied for an Airtel broadband connection in September 2011 and paid first month advance as 1600INR.
However no connection was installed. I kept badgering them to install the connection but to no avail.
Since then they have generated monthly bills for a connection that is not even installed.

Once they said they'll waive the bills and install the connection but still failed to act on it..

Fed up, I asked them to cancel the connection which does not even exist and to refund my initial amount that I had paid.

Since then I have sent mails to their appellate officers, nodal officers, customer care but all I get is a reference number saying the issue will be resolved but no resolution till date.

Last week they said they'll start legal proceedings for non payment of bills. I told them that I can't be expected to pay for a connection that does not even exist. They said they'l make a note that the connection is not installed. But yesterday I again received a notice saying legal proceedings have been initiated.

The court date has been set for 28th June but they have specified resolution date as 12th July. It is clear that their different departments do not coordinate.
This behaviour on Airtel's part is absolutely despicable and I would like adequate compensation for the ordeal that they put me through since the past 10 months.

Respected sir ,

I have already disconnected my airtel broadband connection when I left bangalore 1yr back. Can you please confirm what wrong is with this. This is really annoying that I am receiving such mails, this is against public interest.

No response to the emails aswell. Really a bad experience with Airtel.

Good Afternoon,

I am using airtel Co-operate connection from last 2 years approximately, In the month of April a guy from Vodafone contacted me and said that we will provide a better deal for Blackberry Services than Airtel and Truly speaking I like there deal for Blackberry services, as you guys charge a lot for Blackberry Services. So I placed a request for number port , I got the port ID via SMS. Later I receive a call from airtel they asked me why I want to port the number and I told them the reason.
They informed me that they will not charge me for the Blackberry Services(EDGE) for three months by that time Airtel will come up with better deals. So I agreed with them which I think was a big mistake.
I called to your Customer Service Dep't. in April and they confirmed yes you won't be charged for 1st three months.
But that was not the case I was being charged 499 rental for the package of 899 which was not the package which I was told.
I called many times regarding this to the Customer Service but they failed to help me and advised me to contact you. I don't want to repeat this again and again, so I am writing a formal Complaint to look into this to resolve this issue so that I can pay my outstanding bills and can port this number to some other Service Provider.

Regards

We have been purchased Airtel digital Tv connection through online and got the order no:2052688 and customer id :[protected] dtd 15th of June'12 , we regret to say that we have not received activation so far. We have not received even any intimation from customer care of the same.

Pls. do the needful.

Airtel is sending SMS from AX-SYCRKT.

I am an Airtel prepaid customer having the number [protected]. Airtel is sending SMS from AX-SYCRKT.
I have not subscribed, but still every now and then cricket sms are sent to my mobile. And also Rs. 1 is being deducted. It is just irritating. I do not like cricket. Kindly unsubscribe the VAS for cricket and revert the amount.
Also cancel all the VAS, I wish to be in Don't Disturb Mode.

My contact no. is +91-[protected].

I lost my airtel sim for post paid mobile no. [protected] while in malaysia. I called up the airtel customer care center in 4th june 2012 and asked them to deactivate the number fearing misuse. Later when i returned back to India, i purchased a new SIM from airtel office in bannerghatta road near jayadeva circle on 12th june 2012. This sim card has not been activated yet. Each time i call up customer care, nodal zone care or walk into customer care center, they only ask for 6 hours - 24 hours time to activate it. But even after a week, nothing has happened so far. Request you to look into it.

Sir,

This is with ref to my mobile no [protected] (postpaid). I have activated GPRS for 98rs and Airtel executive told me that I can use 1GB internet access for the next one month. After variopus call from me Airtel Executive has confirmed me that my internet is active and no more extra charges will be billed for next one month, but I receive bill of Rs 6500/- stating usage of internet in my mobile. Now nobody in Airtel is helping me clarifying this issue rather they are treating me to pay the amount without any clarity. Airtel executive given wrong information about GPRS activation and billed me wrongly.

Please intervene in this regard.

Thanks,
Karthik

Hello.I use the zong facility in my airtel phone to make online payments.
But yesterday while upgrading my membership in a website using zong, the process couldnt be completed.
Everytime i texted ZONG to the number specified, Rs.3 was deducted from my airtel account.But the actual payment didnt happen and i couldnt upgrade my membership in that website.Today when i try again it shows 'spending limit reached'.I dont have a credit/debit card to use.
So please tell me how to increase my zong spending limit in airtel account.

Please take action for this. Each time i have to call the customer care and loose 3-4 rs for deactivating this. Further more they wont deactivate in a single instance. They make me to call them repeatedly 2 to 3 times and after loosing my temper and shouting at them, they deduct the auto renewal and credit the balance into my account. This is cheating. For ex if the rate of a booster is 18 this includes service tax and processing fees. But they deduct 18 rs from our original balance. This inturn has a processing fees because if we topup for 50 it only gives 43 as talk value. So they are placing tax over tax until my money gets drained.

For others who have lost money in auto renewal just shout at the customer care exec..
